  • Press Release THOMAS QUASTHOFF
    Machreich Artists Management page | 1 Press Release THOMAS QUASTHOFF PRESS RELEASE German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff has decided to say farewell to the concert stage, putting an end to his outstanding career as a singer after nearly 40 years. Mr. Quasthoff says, “After almost 40 years, I have decided to retire from concert life. My health no longer allows me to live up to the high standard that I have always set for my art and myself. I owe a lot to this wonderful profession and leave without a trace of bitterness. On the contrary, I am looking forward to the new challenges that will now enter my life. I would like to thank all my fellow musicians and colleagues, with whom I stood together on stage, all the organizers, and my audience for their loyalty.” Mr. Quasthoff will continue to devote himself intensively to the next generation of singers by teaching, as before, at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, as well as at international master classes. He has dedicated himself intensely to the Lied genre for years. This devotion inspired him to launch the “Das Lied” international song competition in 2009, over which he will continue to preside as artistic director. In addition, he will be seen on stage as a speaker, at readings, and in the new talk show series, “ Thomas Quasthoffs Nachtgespräche ” at the Konzerthaus Berlin. Trained by Charlotte Lehmann and Ernst Huber-Contwig in Hanover, Mr. Quasthoff launched his career with various competitive successes, including 1 st prize at the ARD Competition in 1988.

  • PDF 139.88KB Rps Abo Salomon Prize 2013
    Press Release For release: Friday 10 January 2014 ‘Unsung heroine’ of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, violinist Catherine Arlidge, a “true advocate of the modern orchestral musician” awarded prestigious RPS/ABO Salomon Prize for orchestral musicians. Catherine Arlidge of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra becomes the first violinist – and only the third ever recipient – of the RPS/ABO Salomon Prize, a prestigious award celebrating the outstanding contribution of orchestral players to the UK’s musical life. The UK boasts many of the world’s finest orchestras, many of which have trophy cabinets bursting with awards in testimony to their brilliance on the concert platform and in the recording studio. Yet, the contribution of individual musicians within an orchestra often goes unnoticed. The Salomon Prize* was created by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Association of British Orchestras in 2011 to celebrate the ‘unsung heroes’ of orchestral life; the orchestral players that make our orchestras great. The award is named after Johann Peter Salomon, violinist and founding member of the Philharmonic Society in 1813. Each year, players in all orchestras across the UK are asked to nominate a colleague who has been ‘an inspiration to their fellow players, fostered greater spirit of teamwork and shown commitment and dedication above and beyond the call of duty’. Catherine Arlidge, Sub Principal of the second violins, who has played with the CBSO for over 20 years, was nominated by her fellow musicians and the CBSO’s management for her creativity, energy and “great skill for motivating and inspiring colleagues and for engaging with her audience”.

  • The Polish Pianist Artur Hermelin
    M u z y k a l i a XIII · Judaica 4 The Polish Pianist Artur Hermelin H a n n a P a l m o n Introduction For many years, I knew about my late relative - the pianist Artur Hermelin - only this: that he grew up in Lwow (called Lemberg when he was born there in 1901); that he was a child prodigy; and that as a piano soloist he toured Europe with orchestras and gave recitals - some of which were broadcasted by the Polish Radio. I also knew that Artur perished in the Holocaust. When my father told me that, his eyes revealed how much he was still missing his cousin Artur, who had been one year older than him; that was 30 years after Artur’s tragic death, when I was still a child; it was far beyond my grasp, and it still is. We had an old small photo of Artur as a very young boy, hugging a big accordion and giving the camera a warm smile. During my recent attempts to collect details about Artur’s 41 years of life – I’ve read that Artur was among the musicians who were forced to perform music for the Nazis in the ghetto of Lwow and later in the labor camp; hundreds of thousands of Jews - Artur and his relatives among them - were murdered at the ghetto of Lwow and at its notorious Janowska camp, or transported from the ghetto or the camp to concentration camps, in the years 1941-1943. May the memory of the victims be blessed.
